Still working on one library book, Red Horizons, so I’m trying not to borrow any more until I get that done.

Mailbox Haul:

Nothing in my physical mailbox this week.

Audible Haul:

I have a new credit, but no idea what I should use it on. Suggestions?

Purchased:

I still haven’t bought any books, including freebies, so I’m impressed with myself right now. My movie did arrive and I’m eager to watch it. It’s called 12:08 East of Bucharest (yeah, still running with that Romanian theme). It’s supposed to be hysterically funny. We’ll see, I suppose!

At least I made some sort of noticible progress this past week. This coming week starts OWNtober and I’m anxious to clear out some books. Might even carry this on through the end of the year to see how many I can get rid of by New Year’s. Hope you all have a great week.

I get books from every source I can find! Mostly it’s via the library (for print and digital) and PaperbackSwap.com (a mostly free book-swapping site). Audible is very tempting and their daily deals are awesome – an audiobook for $2.95? YES PLEASE. Also, earlier this year, a used book store opened up the road from my house and it’s wonderful. Even better because the owners are true book lovers and will sit and chat with you for as long as you’re willing to hang out.

OWNtober wouldn’t just last for three months in my case, it would be more like three years – and I still don’t think I would have cleared my physical sheves, let alone my kindle, which will be full to bursting long before then!

Working with second hand books as I do, I have been very good of late and I haven’t actually bought a book for ages. However, I am a pre-approved Aria Fiction reader with NetGalley and no doubt when Goodreads get their overseas ‘Giveaway’ issues sorted out, I shall be back on that bandwagon again too!

I keep meaning to try a Galbraith book and perhaps it is an omen that they have been mentioned on so many blogs this week.

You and me both. Ugh, I swear, I collect wayward books like nobody’s business. My Kindle is a mess, too, thanks to Amazon and those freebies!

That has to be difficult! The used bookstore near me has so many older books, things that are out of print or hard to find and it’s SO TEMPTING. I resisted going in on Saturday even though I was right next door.

I got pre-approved for Aria as well, so that’s very cool! The Goodreads giveaways are safer for me, even being in the US – so far, I’ve only won once.

Thanks! Ugh, so was mine. It was a pretty pitiful month for me, honestly. But I had a kid start her freshman year of college at the end of August so that might have a lot to do with it. 🙂 Here’s to a better October for us both!

I still haven’t made any progress on my to-read pile on my table, lol. But I’m currently reading Mister Owita’s Guide to Gardening for my book club this week. The author, Carol Wall, died soon after the book was published in 2014, and her husband travels the country to promote the book. One of the perks of living in this area is that it’s very author-prolific, and we usually have an author (or in this case, the husband) come to our library book club 2-3 times a year.

Oh, that’s awesome and a perfectly acceptable reason to read something else. I love that her husband is out promoting for her even though she’s gone. Ugh, I’m jealous though. Not many authors venture out this way. Enjoy!

I was very tempted to pick up The Cuckoo’s Calling as a Daily Deal yesterday. Probably should have. I hadn’t heard of OWNtober but I’ll be working on NetGalley’s on hand and my own TBRs this month too.
Happy Reading!
